Nintendo’s Korean division will be holding a Nintendo Direct presentation on April 14 at 7:00 AM EST. The company will be announcing 3DS launch information for the territory – yes, they’re still waiting for the system!
Although this Nintendo Direct is planned for Korea only, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw another Japanese (and possibly American/European) presentation later this month.
You can follow the proceedings here.
